Some of the areas it affects are the liver , colon, and pancreas . Kidney cancer cells may also break away from the original tumor and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. When kidney cancer spreads, cancer cells may appear in the lymph nodes. What are the Symptoms? In the early stages of kidney cancer, there may be no obvious symptoms. As the disease progresses, some of the common symptoms are: What causes Kidney Cancer? The exact cause of kidney cancer is unknown. However, there are certain risk factors that are linked to it. These risk factors, according to the American Cancer Society, are: smoking, exposure to asbestos, cadmium exposure, family history of kidney cancer, gender (men are twice as likely to get kidney cancer as are women) diet (a high-fat diet increases a person's risk of kidney cancer), weight/obesity, and long-term dialysis.

According to the American Cancer Society , the most common type is renal cell cancer (also called renal cell carcinoma ), which accounts for 85 percent of all kidney tumors. Renal cell cancer may develop in one or both kidneys. In the early stages, kidney cancer usually causes no obvious signs or symptoms. As kidney cancer grows, it may invade organs near the kidney such as the liver colon or pancreas . Kidney cancer cells may also break away from the original tumor and spread (or metastasize ) to other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes , bones or lungs, with about one third of cases showing metastasis at the time of diagnosis.

This is one of the less common types of cancer and it occurs more frequently in men compared to women. The vast majority of renal cell cancers are histologically classed as adenocarcinomas, these may be subdivided into clear cell and granular cell types (in some cases the 2 types can occur together in the same tumour). There are other less common types of non-adenocarcinoma kidney cancers including transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. Wilms' tumour is another type of kidney cancer, which is almost exclusively found in children.

The center is involved in treatment and research into kidney cancer including immunotherapy. Kidney Cancer UK KCUK was founded in January 2000 by 2 kidney cancer patients. It aims to inform patients and carers and to establish a network of individuals and groups in the UK. The Web site includes information, details of events, FAQs, and a discussion forum.

Extractions: People normally have 2 kidneys which are located below the ribcage at the level of the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae, in the "small of the back" region. The fight kidney is usually a little lower than the left one, since the right one is pushed down by the liver. The kidneys are "bean shaped" (hence "kidney bean") and the urine produced by each kidney is collected in a hollow area within the kidney called the "renal pelvis". From the renal pelvis, the urine drains through the "ureters" which are tubes vach conduct the urine into the bladder. These structures are called the "collecting system" of the kidney. Each kidney is fed blood by a "renal artery"' and drained off by a "renal vein". The renal arteries come off the the "aorta", which arises from the heart and supplies the whole lower body with blood. The renal veins drain into Inferior vena cava, which then returns the blood to the heart. There are small glands on the top of each kidney called the "adrenal gland". Each kidney and adrenal gland is surrounded by fat, called the "perinephric fat". The fat is then surrounded by a tough fibrous membrane, called "Gerotals Facia". This is important since the behavior of kidney cancers can often be gauged by whether they have invaded the perinephric fat or Gerota's Facia. Furthermore, like all major organs the kidneys have surrounding "lymph nodes", which are small bean-sized glands that filter the blood as part of the immune system. The outcome of kidney cancer also depends on whether these lymph nodes have been invaded by the disease, as will be seen.

There are two main types of primary kidney tumors renal-cortical tumors and transitional cell tumors. Renal-cortical tumors account for nearly 90 percent of all kidney tumors. Transitional cell tumors of the kidneys and ureters are similar to bladder tumors. Kidney cancer rarely strikes children and young adults; the exception is a pediatric kidney cancer called Wilms' tumor In this section you can find information about our expertise in treating patients with kidney cancer, our services, and our research.

Therefore, there are no widely used screening programs for kidney cancer in this country; that is, apparently healthy people do not usually have regular examinations for this cancer. However, people who are on long-term kidney dialysis and those with von Hippel-Lindau disease or tuberous sclerosis may benefit from periodic evaluation of their kidneys to check for early signs of kidney cancer. Most kidney tumors are found incidentally when patients are being evaluated with radiologic imaging studies for other non-specific abdominal complaints (gallbladder pain, for example), or during follow-up for other previously treated malignancies. These "incidental cancers" are often found early, before any symptoms have occurred. Because these cancers are usually detected before they have spread, patients with incidental kidney tumors are often cured of their disease, commonly by surgery alone.

Extractions: Kidney cancer is a disease in which the cells in certain tissues of the kidney start to grow uncontrollably and form tumors. Renal cell carcinoma, which occurs in the cells lining the kidneys (epithelial cells), is the most common type of kidney cancer. Eighty-five percent of all kidney tumors are renal cell carcinomas. Wilms' tumor is a rapidly developing cancer of the kidney most often found in children under four years of age. Description The kidneys are a pair of organs shaped like kidney beans that lie on either side of the spine just above the waist. Inside each kidney are tiny tubes (tubules) that filter and clean the blood, taking out the waste products and making urine. The urine that is made by the kidney passes through a tube called the ureter into the bladder. Urine is held in the bladder until it is discharged from the body. Renal cell carcinoma generally develops in the lining of the tubules that filter and clean the blood. Cancer that develops in the central portion of the kidney (where the urine is collected and drained into the ureters) is known as transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis. Transitional cell cancer is similar to bladder cancer Kidney cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 30,000 new cases of kidney cancer will be found in 1998. Kidney cancer occurs most often in men over the age of 40. Men are twice as likely as women are to have cancer of the kidney.
